Once the tour is done, folks can gather at the Sandman Centre for live entertainment from the Kamloops Rube Band and the Kamloops Pride Choir along with hot beverages and holiday treats.

Last year, an estimated 600 people attended the tour with the help of about 19 buses, three candidates and tons of volunteers.

Although the tour is free, registration is encouraged.

Anyone interested in taking the tour can call (250) 828-3500 or visit this website by Thursday, Dec. 5 to sign up.

Anyone who requires handyDART service should register for the Light Tour first and then schedule their handyDART transportation by calling (250) 376-7525.

There will be over 20 pickup locations across town and each participant will be returned to their pickup spot by bus at the end of the night.
